only for students making less than $125k per year. Meaning that it's forgiveness for loans that were likely never going to be repaid anyway

$125k is twice the average income in the US for people who work fulltime. That's a long shot from being some downtrodden poor who can't make payments.

$125k is also more than almost all college graduates make.

This loan forgiveness is going to cost $300 billion in the first year. Without the $125k limit it would "only" go up to $344b. Meaning this is WAY more than just a handful of people who couldn't pay it back anyway. It's almost all of college students and graduates.

It also disproportionately benefits people in the top income brackets.
